Frankston Hospital redevelopment has reached structural completion
The $1.1 billion Frankston Hospital redevelopment is on track, with external facade works now complete!
What’s happening?
The redevelopment and expansion of Frankston Hospital is delivering a new multi-storey tower with additional bed capacity, new operating theatres, enhanced mental health and oncology services along with expanded maternity and paediatric services.
The redevelopment also includes a new car park and two state-wide emergency department initiatives: a five-bed emergency department mental health, alcohol and other drugs hub, and a dedicated paediatric zone. Works on the new Frankston Hospital began in June 2022, near the Emergency Department on Yuille Street.
The redeveloped Frankston Hospital will have modern facilities, amenities and equipment that will support the delivery of enhanced care and patient and staff wellbeing. Increased service capacity will provide more access for people living locally, improving wait times and enabling patients to access more clinical support services closer to home.

Who’s leading this project?
The Frankston Hospital redevelopment is being delivered as a public private partnership (PPP) under the Partnerships Victoria framework. The Exemplar Health consortium is designing, constructing, and financing construction and will maintain the new facility. Frankston Hospital will remain a public hospital, with all clinical health services operated by Peninsula Health. Exemplar Health comprises Lendlease, Honeywell, Compass Group and Capella Capital was awarded the contract.
When will works be completed?
Construction of the main works is expected to be complete by the end of 2025, with the redevelopment operational in 2026. Following this will be some further refurbishment works of the existing hospital and the construction of a childcare centre and community centre.

What’s the benefit?
The massive redevelopment gives Peninsula Health the capacity to treat 35,000 more patients each year, and is delivering:
- a new tower with 12 levels of clinical services and a new main entrance
- 130 more beds
- new spaces for mental health and oncology services
- 15 new operating theatres – meaning more surgeries and shorter wait times for the local community.
- new maternity, obstetrics and paediatric wards
- a women’s clinic
- a special care nursery
- a refurbished and expanded emergency department
- a new multi-deck carpark
